Victory Over the Flesh

Every Christian battles with the flesh-even the great apostle Paul struggled (see Romans 7:21-24). How can you M-A-S-T-E-R this challenge?

Monitor your time with those who drag you down.
Account for your struggles to a more mature believer.
Strengthen your “inner man” through the Bible and prayer.
Train yourself to avoid things that stir fleshly desires.
Exercise purity in relationships with the opposite sex.
Run from the lusts of the flesh.

Victory is possible. Make these steps a regular part of your life!

Lord, thank You for reminding me that I am not a helpless victim. Empower me to master my fleshly desires, I pray, as I put these principles into practice. Amen.
